Effect of Therapeutic Exercise on the Management of Hyperkyphosis in Adolescence and Young Adulthood: A Systematic Review. [PDF]

Physiother Res Int
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Thoracic hyperkyphosis is characterised by an increase in the normal angle of the thoracic kyphosis. Several factors make adolescents and young adults a potential risk group for postural hyperkyphosis. Among the treatment options, therapeutic exercise allows patients to take an active role, providing a number of ...
